In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), the annual report shall contain the following information, as applicable:
- (a)The annual quantity of associated storage in metric tons of CO2 (mstored).
- (b)The density of CO2 if volumetric units are converted to mass in order to be reported for annual quantity of CO2 stored.
- (c)The annual quantity of CO2 input (minput) and the information in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section.
- (d)The annual mass of CO2 that is recycled and reinjected into the EOR complex.
- (e)The annual total mass of CO2 loss from project operations (mloss operations), and the information in paragraphs (e)(1) through (4) of this section.
- (1)Loss of CO2 due to leakage from production, handling, and recycling CO2-EOR facilities (infrastructure including wellheads) (mloss leakage facilities).
- (2)Loss of CO2 from venting/flaring from production operations (mloss vent/flare).
- (3)Loss of CO2 due to entrainment within produced gas/oil/water when this CO2 is not separated and reinjected (mloss entrained).
- (4)Loss of CO2 due to any transfer of CO2 outside the CO2-EOR project (mloss transfer).
- (f)The total mass of CO2 loss from the EOR complex (mloss EOR complex).
- (g)Annual documentation that contains the following components as described in Clause 4.4 of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7):
- (1)The formulas used to quantify the annual mass of associated storage, including the mass of CO2 delivered to the CO2-EOR project and losses during the period covered by the documentation (see Clause 8 and Annex B of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7)).
- (2)The methods used to estimate missing data and the amounts estimated as described in Clause 9.2 of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7).
- (3)The approach and method for quantification utilized by the operator, including accuracy, precision, and uncertainties (see Clause 8 and Annex B of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7)).
- (4)A statement describing the nature of validation or verification including the date of review, process, findings, and responsible person or entity.
- (5)Source of each CO2 stream quantified as associated storage (see Clause 8.3 of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7)).
- (6)A description of the procedures used to detect and characterize the total CO2 leakage from the EOR complex.
- (7)If only the mass of anthropogenic CO2 is considered for mstored, a description of the derivation and application of anthropogenic CO2 allocation ratios for all the terms described in Clauses 8.1 to 8.4.6 of CSA/ANSI ISO 27916:19 (incorporated by reference, see § 98.7).
- (8)Any documentation provided by a qualified independent engineer or geologist, who certifies that the documentation provided, including the mass balance calculations as well as information regarding monitoring and containment assurance, is accurate and complete.
- (h)Any changes made within the reporting year to containment assurance and monitoring approaches and procedures in the EOR operations management plan.
